However, there is still hope! Those hopes lie with a young wolf; the eldest daughter of the pack that inhabits the forest. In her dreams, as she sits under the full moon, she hears a voice; a voice that tells her that he is coming for her. Who is this mysterious being?

Mix equal parts creativity, bewilderment, and complete nonsense and you have Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. On a day that begins like any other, Alice notices a rabbit—a rabbit with a pocket watch. She chases after it and stumbles down a hole… and keeps falling and falling and falling. That’s when things start to get weird.

It’s an adventure of completely intolerable logic, as witty as it is completely insane.

Most children are enthralled by nature, specifically outer space and various weather conditions. Because not everyone lives in a geographic region that experiences tornadoes and hurricanes, picture books are a great way for children to learn about these events. A well illustrated picture book can help students understand how tornadoes and hurricanes are formed, and can help them overcome their fear of these extreme weather situations. When students who have been impacted firsthand by a major storm are able to see the explanation in a neutral, scientific way, it may provide a way for them to heal from their traumatic experiences.

Catastrophic events are woven into an allegorical story about an enchanted land suddenly thrown into chaos. Set in early North America, foreign explorers in search of gold and the fountain of youth discover more than they bargained for: Leira, the Deceiver, who’s crafted in gems and walks on three legs; giant eagles who guard Elysium Valley, and Igneous, the zany caretaker of the mountain, who nurtures millions of living-stones within the corridors of a magical volcano named Misty.

As explorers create mayhem on this continent, an infant girl – Mariah – is rescued and raised by the eagles and is commissioned by the mountain to restore Hope to a world without hope and save mankind from its disastrous effects before the Deceiver can assassinate her.

Whether you fly on the backs of eagles, float inside gigantic bubbles, sail through crashing waterfalls, or experience the power of the living-stones, you can be assured—you’re in for a fast-paced, emotional ride.

Redeemer – the continuing saga of Deceiver – is Misty’s story of hope and survival under impossible conditions.

Set in early North America, evil fell from the stars and exploded against the mountain. Enticed by the vindictive, three-legged deceiver, conquerors from across the globe come to this unspoiled country blazing destruction in their wake as they hunt for the fountain of youth.

Can sixteen-year-old Mariah, raised by giant eagles, put hope back into time to save Misty and heal mankind? Can Igneous, the ancient caretaker of the mountain, lock the deceiver and her minion, Razor, back into the abyss? Can Erickson, a greedy, murderous, and mentally-tortured sea captain be reformed?

Whether you fly on the backs of eagles, battle possessed men and animals of the forest, unlock the power of the stone, or fall in love, you can be assured you’re in for a fast-paced, emotional ride.

I never planned to be a homeschooler, but circumstances conspired to lead me down this path, so I decided that if I was going to homeschool my kids, I was going to do it right. I had to make a plan and stick to it.

Wading out into uncharted waters alone, I chose my curriculum, scheduled our weeks and set out on a course to homeschooling success. But the planner I clung to like a life preserver started to fail when, just weeks into our first semester, life got stormy and threw off all my careful designs.

I was in over my head and sinking fast as I realized I needed a new plan. One that didn't involve an overly complicated planner filled out weeks ahead of time in ink.

As I adjusted to life as a homeschooler, I came to accept that flexibility would be the key to our family's success. My kids learned best when I adapted my style to their needs and worked with the ebb and flow of their natural rhythms.

This book is an account of my journey from a stressed out, overly-planned, unhappy homeschooler to the flexible and relaxed educator I am today. Well, most days anyway.

I've learned to embrace the unexpected, to grab learning opportunities when they come our way and to remember that even the best laid plans are just a rough draft when you're dealing with kids.

Each of them desperate to stay ahead of the secrets that they keep.

But their troubles have only just begun.
